Welcome to the 714! The day of recording this episode was the first time I met Ronnie. I didn't really come into it with too many expectations (or at least I try not to, because I feel like that causes more problems than it solves). So, I pulled into a parking space, and see another car pull up next to mine, I look outside the passenger side window... and see a big smile shine through a tinted window. I knew immediately we were going to have a fantastic time, and that we did. Enjoy :)…

Welcome to the 714! I was going through a flurry of thoughts when I came across Andrew's channel. I felt like I was living the old saying, when the student is ready the teacher will appear. And like most students, I listened, I listened to ideas that I've heard a million times be put in a new way. It made me delve deeper into myself, and embrace parts of myself that have caused me to hold back in life. I think life puts us in challenging places to see if we have the courage to embrace something we think is so real. Because as soon as I was aware of the fear, it was gone. So, thank you Andrew for sharing your ideas, it impacts people in more ways than you'll ever know.…

Welcome to the 714! So, unfortunately we had some technical difficulties in the beginning of the episode. We ended realizing 20 minutes after we started that the audio wasn't recording (my heart actually dropped when I found out, I was like this can't be lol). Luckily, it was only 20 minutes (gotta look at the good side too) and we were able to keep rolling. But don't worry, Gaurav will be back soon and we'll get a 2 hour heart-to-heart conversation in. For now enjoy, this short (by my standards lol) episode and as always much love :)…

Welcome to the 714! How much do you bench bro? Most people might say 185, 225, maybe 305. But how many people can say they've benched 560 pounds! I'll tell you who can't, me. But David mf'n Reyes can. He might be able to lift an entire grand piano over his chest lol. And after meeting him I can tell you under all that muscle is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. And I think you'll agree while you're listening to this, not only is he freakishly strong, but his caring and loving attitude is palpable and that's the real strength.…

Welcome to the 714! Some ships are wood ships, but those ships may sink. The best ships are friendships, and to those ships, we drink! It's always a fun-loving time when we're with people who make us feel comfortable to be ourselves. To be able to share our deepest secrets and personal afflictions with, there's nothing like a good friend. And if you don't agree, here's two hours and twenty-seven minutes of the finest testimonial you'll ever hear. Enjoy!…

Welcome to the 714! You never know when you're gonna go, so we sippin' scotch like Frank Sinatra. Shout out Young Sinatra. Anyways, I don't drink often but when I do it's always in high spirits (see what I did there?) and with good company. And on this faithful evening was one of those times, I thought to myself wouldn't it be nice to have a glass with a good friend. So, we made it happen... and good googly-moogly was it fun time. Cheers and enjoy!…

Welcome to the 714! This was month's in the making, and I'm glad we finally got together because this is why love doing it. Mind you, we were all coming off some sort of sickness, but none of that mattered once we were in the studio. It seems like there's always something in the air, right before we record. A mix of excitement and nervousness that combusts into the best way to spend any 2 hours. A composition of laughter, stories, and deep thoughts. Enjoy.…

Welcome to the 714! This was a reunion of sorts. A group of elementary school kids getting back together. It was fun to catch up and look back on how much each of us had grown. 10 years doesn't always seem like a long time, but I'll tell you, a lot changes in a decade. And that's not a bad thing. One should change, change is necessary, integral I should say, to life. Without it, life becomes dull and meaningless. So, it's important to take it upon yourself, so that in 10 years you can look back and be proud of the person you have become.…

Welcome to the 714! I don't want to say it... f**k it, I'll say it. This is a top 5, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 episode. I already knew the second we shook hands in the parking lot, that this was going to be a special episode. And boy, oh boy was it. You know what, I don't think you're ready to hear the onslaught of motivation coming your way. By the end of this, if you're not conquering the world, you're not human lol. But really, I wish I could go back in time and do it again, that's how much fun we had recording this. And so I hope you have as much fun as we did, listening and watching. Much Love.…

Welcome to the 714! Well this is a first, having my uncle on the podcast lol. And I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to him just as much as I had talking to him. I'm as certain as I am because of the passion he has about the subject of Hinduism and the language of Sanskrit. It's become more than hobby for him, and so he wanted to take the time to share some of his studies with the world. And to be explicit, our conversation is not trying persuade or induce, instead I hope you find it a learning experience of unique ideas that you might've never heard before. A language that predates Christ, and a culture of spirituality that holds vast amounts of knowledge. Enjoy & Happy New Year!…

Welcome to the 714! I know it's been a while. Trust me I feel guilty taking days off, but I believe everything happens for a reason. And that every setback is an opportunity for a comeback (and beyond that). Furthermore, a change of pace allows you to reflect, it allows you to set a better sail and head for a better direction. So as the year's winding down, let's take the time to remind ourselves that everything is on time, and to focus on what really matters. Friends, family, and the love in your heart.…

Welcome to the 714! Well, we're a new studio again haha... I think we've gotten a new studio pretty much every year, but for some odd reason, all of them have been on the 2nd floor. Every single one. I don't know what it means, maybe 2 is my lucky number, I don't know. Anyways, I think the change is beneficial, we get too comfortable sometimes, and we become afraid to change even though the outcome might be beneficial. It takes courage to step into the unknown. But that's what makes life beautiful.…

Welcome to the 714! We've been trying to plan this episode for a while, and the stars finally aligned on the 30th. These 2 gentlemen are some of my favorite people to talk with, not just because we have the same love for history, but because we share our ideas freely and are open to all forms of thought. It's so freeing talking to people who aren't concerned about a belief system, those who are always open to new ways of thinking. It is not necessary to agree with every idea, however, it is our birth right to express them however we desire. And in the words of Henry David Thoreau, "All good things are wild and free."…

Welcome to the 714! You're never too old to learn and you're never too young to teach. Something I try to keep in mind as I go through life. Because we never know what the universe has in store for us, and if we neglect the opportunity to learn, it can be costly. And trust me, there have been times where it has. In this conversation alone, I learned more about a person than what they talked about, it reminded me about the time when I was 18, naive yet hungry to achieve. I'm proud of how much I've changed, and still excited for what's ahead. Time is a mf'er though, it stops for no one, but somehow if you stretch it far enough, it all makes sense. It shows you everything that happened, had to. So, if your reading this while you're in a dark place, just know it's life's way teaching you, make sure you get the lesson.…

Welcome to the 714! Well this almost didn't happen... I was in a meeting when I get 2 calls and a frantic text saying "I'm at the studio, where are you?" Then I remember, I scheduled to do a podcast today (I thought it was tomorrow, no it's today, f**k) That's never happened in all 100+ episodes I've done, but as they say, "roll with the punches." And I rolled with em, I rolled with them all the way to the studio and even on an empty stomach that was growling every 15 seconds, I had an absolute humdinger of a time. There's nothing that gets me more excited than doing this podcast, I love it with all my heart. Enjoy.…

Welcome to the 714! My boy Rishi was a little nervous in the beginning (like most people when they try anything new), but big props to him for trying doing it anyway. Face your fears ladies and gentlemen, you'll realize they were never meant to stop you. Every fear we have comes from ignorance. Looking back at my life, I've had a lot of fears, none of which killed me lol. And when I realized, there's nothing to fear except fear itself, I became free, free to be who I want to be. That it was never meant to immobilize me, it was meant to teach me. An invaluable lesson, that nothing is here to stay, it is here to pass. Life goes on.…

And so we finally got the time to make it happen and not only did Zayden come thru, but also his good friend Hanna. Right as we met, I knew this was going to be a good one (not that I thought it was going to suck, but you know what I mean). This episode is filled with laughs and stories, 2 hours literally flew by. After we finished recording, we were talking about that, how time just flies by when your having fun. Here's to more fun times, because life is short, unless you live it, then it's just the right amount of time.…

Nothing puts you down like not getting what you anticipated for. But you know, sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. And so that's what we did, me and Robert were like two Broadway actors, "The show must go on," we said (we didn't really say that). And so here's 2 hours of Robert drinking a sh*t ton of water and me laughing my a** off about it. Stay hydrated folks.…

Luckily, we make our own dates and times so it ain't no biggie. This was also the first time I got to meet a producer whose songs I have in my playlist. You ever hear a beat so good that it's instantly playlisted. Well, this man here has a few hits, and it's crazy to come full circle to the person who created the art. Their perspective, and how it happened. Music is a beautiful thing and so are you.…

Which before this I knew nothing about. And so we carry that conversation into the podcast and man did I learn a lot. Did you know Costa Rica doesn't have a military, yeah I didn't either lol. A lot of interesting stories and people in this one folks, enjoy.…

Welcome to the 714! When I was setting up, my energy wasn't as high as I needed it to be. There was something off. Maybe it was the time of day, the traffic, any of the millions of other reasons. But for some reason I was just not feeling it. And then I get a text, saying "We're here," (from YBG) meaning I gotta get my sh*t together haha. There's something powerful about people, that if you're around uplifting individuals, it affects you. And as soon as I got to meet Villiami and YBG, as we were talking before the podcast, there was something about their presence that put me in a better state of mind. I say this because the value of having genuinely positive people around you is priceless, it makes a world of a difference.…

Welcome to the 714! Before you listen, let me preface this by saying, I love learning and understanding people's perspectives because I'm a curious individual. Even though on occasions where I don't completely agree with their perspectives I try my best to appreciate every idea/philosophy. And that's the case with this episode, I personally am not a communist, actually I'm not a part of any rigid philosophy or ideology. Instead I try to garner as much knowledge as I can from everything and everyone to then be able to come up with my own conclusions. So, I hope you choose to take the less traveled path of understanding ideas that you don't agree with. My goal is not to persuade you to any side, but for you to ponder all ideas. Well, if you're still reading this, play the episode already lol.…

And it didn't take long for us to get into the depths of intriguing universal ideas and philosophies. There's something eternal about this type of conversation that any individual can relate to and become inspired by. We could've gone for days and still not discussed everything, but we had to cut it short due to timing (he had things to do). However, as soon as it was over, he told me he's coming back to do another haha.…

That alarm clock goes off, and the first thought on your mind is, "finally, I'm awake." The second thought is "maybe 5 more minutes in bed" (haha). That's the way I was feeling that morning, and boy oh boy was it worth the anticipation. The car ride over to the studio was filled with excitement, and as soon as we hit record we carried that energy for a full two hours. This is a fun one ladies and gents.…

Welcome to the 714! Before we started recording this episode, we came in and talked for at least an hour about so much, that after that hour passed. I was thinking to myself, we should've just started recording when we came in here lol. Anyways, after an hour, we hit the record button and it was smooth sailing from then on. Or at least that's what I thought. Until Arsal tells me (after a 2 hour conversation) that he was having a panic attack the entire time and that his stomach was turning from the thought of people judging him. So be kind folks, not just here but everywhere you go, you never know what somebody is dealing with. Much love :)…

Welcome to the 714! First off, it was a journey to get this together. We planned to do this a few weeks ago, and on the day we were going to record, he texts me at 5am saying he's been throwing up all night (which I later learned was from some tasty but deceptive Mexican food). So we had to reschedule, and that date arrived, but to my astonishment, the result was much of the same. He got sick again. What are the chances of that, who knows? So finally, we got together on a cool Saturday morning and had an absolute blast trading stories and sharing laughs. Fun times.…
